Viking Enterprise Solutions, aka VES, a product division of Sanmina, a reference in compute and storage server design and manufacturing, participated recently to The IT Press Tour. It was the perfect time to understand who is Sanmina and VES, what they do, how they work for other IT companies developing their hardware solutions such as DDN, Infinidat or VAST Data, coupled potentially with some open source software. We discuss with Rick Kumar, SVP of VES, about the mission of the company, their expertise, the various use cases with AI of course but also go-to-market and revenue models. We conclude with some future directions, always interesting with entities like VES. I hope you would like this episode, enjoy your listening. Thank you Rick.
